Can anyone explain what features of the C runtime in Android (via NDK) are not supported?

Question

More specifically, does NDK have a complete STL implementation. We're looking at this for devices running 1.6 and upwards.

Answer 1

No, the only supported libraries in the NDK at this time are:

• libc
• libm
• libz (Zlib compression)
• liblog (Android logging)
• OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 (3D graphics libraries)

Also available are interfaces for JNI and minimal C++ support.

Answer 2

As of ndk 5 there is a variety of stl options with and without exception handling.
